Though even if he had wanted a rabbit, he didn't know how long-term the marriage would be -- he had difficulty thinking about the immediacy of the marriage, even more so about what would happen after they actually had a child, how permanent everything would be -- though it was not as if he could abandon a child, and she at least seemed very nice --
